Germline mutations of CDKN2A, at 9p21, are responsible for predisposition to melanoma in some families. However, evidence of linkage to 9p21 has been demonstrated in a significant proportion of kindreds with no detectable mutations in CDKN2A. It is possible that mutations in noncoding regions may be

Inactivation of the human retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor gene (RB1; MIM # 180200) is usually caused by mutations in the coding region, but mutations in the promoter region can also affect RB1 gene expression. A 103-bp deletion in the promoter region in a prostate cancer was reported to abrogate RB1

We have identified 7 patients with Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) in whom analysis of dystrophin by immunoblotting shows a full-sized molecule produced at reduced abundance compared with controls. They have no detectable deletion in their dystrophin cDNA. One patient presented atypically with unusu
## Abstract Changes in DNA methylation patterns are frequently observed in human cancers and are associated with a decrease in tumor suppressor gene expression. Hypermethylation of the __BRCA1__ promoter has been reported in a portion of sporadic breast tumours that correspond to a reduction in __B
## Abstract Cloning and characterization of the promoter region for the MCTβ1 oncogene is described. We used luciferase assays to identify __cis__βacting elements responsible for human MCTβ1 promoter function. The MCTβ1 promoter is TATAβless with a consensus initiator element located at the transcr
